Possible career

Possible career Hey everybody! First time on here. I’ve been trying to find a way to get around my stutter and try and get into voice acting. I get random blocks on random days with random parts of th...

i'm in the same boat. mid 30s, i always thought i would grow out of my stutter. I have a computer based job that (imo) excel at but when i'm due to present my project in front of others, i struggle w...

Really confusing

Really confusing Hope you all doing great I was just wondering why I have problem speaking ( Idk if it is stammering or stuttering or sth else) when talking to ppl or in the presence of ppl, but not ...

Thanks for that well articulated reply, but I disagree with a lot of what you say. 1.Instead of 'don't think about stuttering', I think it's far more helpful if people with our condition divert thei...

I think the best way to rephrase what you wrote into something that makes sense for me is: "I pay a lot of attention to how I'm speaking while I'm speaking". This is, of course, rather natural for s...

I think perhaps your approach (in your question) is not put together right. Allow me to elaborate: - • For one, I don't think it's a good idea to tell ourselves "don't think about stuttering". We do...

weird brain activation

Excellent communication skills requirement in jobs

Excellent communication skills requirement in jobs Currently looking for a job as I've finished uni and almost all jobs require you to have excellent communication skills. Its really frustrating when ...

what makes stuttering really really annoying to me is not knowing what's causing it ( ik it's a neurological disorder but that's not what i'm talking about ). We have good and bad days, i still can't...

You’re not overthinking. I like to think of our speech as a muscle and because of that our fluency can be shaped by how much we speak daily. For me, this works except for my name for some reason....
